A Mexican Wife Abroad.

But when a foreigner marries a Mexican
woman he ought invariably to settle here,
tor IL Is very rare that his wife can live
anywhere else. They miss the beautiful
climate and pine for that universal cor
diality and warmth of manner by which
they have been surrounded in Mexico;
they yearn for the lassies-aller and alb
sence of all etiquette in habits, toilets, etc.
In other countries they find themselves
surrounded by women SO differently edu-
Gated as TO be doubly strangers A very
few instances have been recorded of MeNi.
can girls who have been married and taken
TO Europe when very Young who have
acquired European ways of thinking and
even prefer the land of adoption to their
own; but these cases are so rare as scarce
lysto form exceptions. They are true pa
triots, for the visible horizon bounds all
their wishes. In France, Spain or Italy
they might manage to exist, but in the
United States or England they would be
as much out of their natural elemeN as
fish out of water. An icy climate, not
colder than the manners of the people, a
harsh language almost impossible To ac-
Quire, religion which they consider
heretical, etiquette carried to excess, and
order in the toilet--rebosos
unknown, cigaritos considered barbarous

live only in hopes of return.-City of

Platpuic ina.

There is another English tendency that
is achieving vogue here more and more
every day, and which is illustrated par
ticularly at some of these dinners. And
that is tendency for men and women to
form perfectly proper and platonic friend
ships, irrespective Of their domestic ties.
Society women who are married are now
disposed to regard their lives as incom-
plete unless they have secured the intelli-
gent admiration of some one of their male
friends. II he is a man of ability, with
some reputation as a speaker, a writer,
or, better still, as statesman, the situa-
ton is all the more interesting Then IL
dinner givers want to secure the presence
of this lion il is engineered by inviting the
lady to whom he is devoted. And it is
seldom the device fails of its object. An
English woman who is now visiting here
said recently that if she wanted~a prom
met member of parliament present at one
Of her dinners she never failed to invite
the married lady to whom he was paying
faithful platonic attentions at the time.
And the same rule seems to he now i'm
perative here-New York Mail and Ex-

Steam, as compared with water, occu-

of steam at atmospheric pressure. Now,
if this steam is compressed into half the
space il occupies at atmospheric pressure,
it will be double that pressure or fifteen
pounds above the atmosphere; it will then
occupy only S64 cubic inches. If reduced
again to half its volume, it will occupy
432 cubic inches, and will have thirty

His victories have never received the
credit justly due them on account of the
apparent ease with which they were
gained. The student of military history
will rarely meet with accounts Of battles
in any age where the actual operations CO.
incide so exactly with the orders issued
upon the eve of conflicts as in the official
reports of the wonderfully energetic and
successful campaign in which Gen. Scott,
with handful Of men, renewed the mem-
ory of the conquest Of Cortes. in his tri-
umphant march from Vera Cruz to the
capital The plan of the battle Of Cerro
Gordo was so fully carried out in action
that the official report is hardly more than
the general orders translated from the
future tense to the past. The story Of
Chapultepec has the same element of the
in it. The general commands
apparent impossibilities in the closest de-
tail on one day, and the next day re-
ports that they have been accomplished.
These successes were not cheapiy attained.
The Mexicans, though deficient in science
and military intelligence, fought with
bravery and sometimes with desperation.
The enormous percentage of loss in his
army proves that Scott was engaged in no
light work.-The Century,

the curtain rose Although the snow and
slush were ankle deep people We're watt
ing at the pit doors early in the afternoon,
and soon after the doors opened the grand
auditorium was packed with dense mob
of good natured humanity. When the or
chestra appeared they were received with
a shout of delight, and the leader, instead
of taking his seat to conduct the overture,
turned his face to the audience to lead
them in singing; and sing they did with u
will. The overture was a medley Of pop
ular airs, beginning loyalty with God
Bless the Prince Of Wales" and ending
with God Save the Queen" aud inter-
spersed with Two Jolly Black Eyes" and
other music hall ditties.
From beginning to end the songs were
taken up in succession and sung Justify by
a thousand voices. Imagine a scene like
that i'll an American theatre if you can.

of splendid fabrics and brilliant scenery,

A young man with a pale face, close

that corner of the room where the

capsule shooter nimbly tripped up to
the customer. produced n jar of pills,
poured out . couple, and presented them
to the customer with glass of mineral
water to furnish them transportation.
The customer swallowed the pills and
mineral water as though they had been a
part of his daily food ever since the war.
They were evidently to him what the gin

Of little pellets. He took three, and, as
an economic measure, undertook To make
away with them without the mineral
water accompaniment. They lodged, and
he began in a disturbed tone, as the clerk
was presenting his change:
Take out for a glass;
"Yes, there is an increased demand for
quinine," said the clerk who had called
attention to the first customer. 1T is
just like the drinking habit with men, the
demand gradually increases. The Gus

ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH.

Hardly a week passes without the men-
ton BY the newspapers OF sudden deaths,
and of late the alarming frequency OF the
statement that death was caused by rheu-
matism or neuralgia Of the heart cannot
fail to have been noticed. In all proba-
bility many deaths attributed TO heart dis
ease are caused by these terrible diseases,
which are far more dangerous than is gen.
erally considered. Is there any positive
cure? TIE best answer to such question
is given by those who hare been cured by
the use of Athlophoros-
E.A. Curry, son of Mrs. ]. II. Curry, Of
New Paris, Ohio, saws: my mother, previ-
Gus to her use of Athlophoros had been al
most a constant sufferer from infiammatory
rheumatism OF the most acute form. Atthe
time she commenced with this medicine she
was in most helpless condition; her suffer-
ing could well be termed torture; she was
confined to her bed for many weeks, nothing
We had done gave her any relief. My father
was almost discouraged and disheartened
fearing there never would be any relief for
her. Not knowing what to do next he came
to town, going to Mr. Richey's drug store,
he said he must have something that would
at least give her relief Mr.. Richey spoke Of
Athlophoros and told my father to go and
see Josiah White about his use Of it. Mr..
White spoke highly Of the medicine and
advised my father to get bottle and try it,
which he did. After taking few doses
mother began to get relief, after she had
used two bottles she was up and around and
in a weeks time she came down town. How
long had she been afflicted with this rheu-
matism? For sixteen years, of course it
would be better and worse at different times.
How much did she use in all? was asked.
l think about three bottles"
